Ben switched off the propaganda machine early on. He tunes in to Three Dog for news.

Pranky Crow is pranky

Croaky crow is croaky.



Kane, glad to hear you enjoy Three Dog. I also dig him, but I really love hearing the traditional American of Eden's channel, music played in the wasteland setting, know what I mean? Because that music is all about how great America is, so when we hear it in the wasteland setting, where everything is all torn up ... that to me is very powerful. It's sort of deep, in a way.

I did enjoy it for a little bit. I probably listened to it more, until I fixed up the GNR antenna.



I had the day off yesterday, and managed to get a nice long session in.

Benjamin has officially completed Project Purity, and given clean water to the Capital Wasteland. The Enclave was tough, but no match for Ben, Fawkes, The Lyons Pride, and Liberty Prime. He even convinced Eden to destroy Raven Rock before heading back to the Citadel.

Unfortunately, I had to do the final ending twice. Wasn't aware that Broken Steel needed to be turned on in order to survive for more adventures....

Yeah, Khajiit was really glad they went back and fixed the “no play after MQ ending” thing.

And after all the fallout (pun intended!) from players about killing your character at the end of the Main Quest and preventing you from playing the open world game any further, Obsidian went and did exactly the same thing with New Vegas. Some companies do not grasp the concept of open worlds, and open-ended gameplay.

Khajiit never finished New Vegas. It was more fun to just roam around! This one will say that his absolute favorite Fallout story cane from New Vegas. Dead Money. Such a hauntingly sad tale.

This is me with Daggerfall. Whenever I play this game I can't really get into it very deeply; all I do is run around.

Khajiit I think maybe you have turned into a Khajiit slowly over time. I see old posts from you in the old Beth forums, and you always referred to yourself as "I" back then, instead of "this one."

/off-topic.

on-topic: I think I'll be playing some Fallout 3 this weekend. It's supposed to be sunny and last I saw, Cho Zen Wahn was dealing with an Enclave attack.

Khajiit really does like the additions they added to the base Fallout3 mechanics (ammo crafting, weapon mods, the so called “Hardcore Mode”, iron sights, consumables crafting) in New Vegas. Also, the companions seem more fleshed out and the stories in general seem a bit better than in Fallout3 (all in Khajiit’s humble opinion, of course). The bugs are way worse in NV than in Fallout3 though, and this one prefers the Capital Wasteland setting to the Mojave.

I think I would have preferred the Mojave, it being all Old Western style and all. But now I'm so used to the C.W that I don't have much interest in it. Also, I believe the Mojave is much more restricted.

I prefer the CW to the NV as well. Though like Khajiit, I do appreciate the improved game mechanics of NV. I do like playing a character in one game as then bringing them to the other. It brings an added amount of life to them after one setting has yielded up its secrets.

But there is one new reason for playing NV these days. Gog has it had it on sale for a while now, which means it can be played without Steam and its drm. I bought it all over again from Gog, just so I can play it this way.

Well besides a few weapons and clothing items, and a handful of cowboy-esque characters, there really isn’t a lot of “Old West” style to NV. It’s mostly just the same dilapidated 50’s style buildings, just set in the desert. And yes, it is restrictive in that it puts creatures in your way that you can’t kill at early levels to make sure you use a linear path to get to the big city.

Another thing nice about New Vegas is that its meshes and textures are of the exact same type as those used in FO3. That makes it easy to port weapons and armor from one game to the other. I did that a few years ago to bring a bunch of Vegas stuff to DC.

I have nothing better to do while waiting for SKSE64 and F4SE to update, so I downloaded New Vegas and gave it a go. Only played for about 30 mins., but it seems fun so far. I much prefer the intro to that of Fallout 3.

Short and they throw you right into the Mojave!

The DLC for NV are very good. Khajiit recommends.

Yes, I think the summer of 2018 is the summer I finally try New Vegas too. I'll probably flip-flop from the Capitol to the Mojave.

Khajiit likes both games. This one prefers the DC setting of F3 but enjoyed the Mojave for a change of pace. As mentioned before, Khajiit really liked the DLC (that he played; Dead Money, Honest Hearts) for NV, and there are some basic mechanic improvements and new systems (weapon modding, ammo crafting) that were awesome as well.

That Point Lookout though... man, Khajiit loves that place.

Started my Fallout 3 season last Friday with some minor running around the D.C area and continued today with a full-fledged runnin' gunnin' and lootin'. As always I'm accompanied by Gunny, my trusty mr Gutsy. Not too much loot found but I can report that the route went from Warrington Station up to the house on the east side of the road just past the garage to the left of said road.

Give’em hell!

Hey, it's Cho here. Right here in Moriarty's. Having myself a sit-down, because I really need to think this [censored] out. Break.

I mean, they sent me out here, you know, "they" being the Citadel brotherhood people, and "here" being out here in the Wasteland. They send me clear across the Wasteland, okay? But they don't give me anything. They've got this goddam gigantic compound, huge walls, tons of soldiers, you know, an entire virtual battalion of soldiers. But they want ME to do this on my own. Go clear across the map to Olney Powerworks, which is like, a whole mile or two away. [censored] that. Break.

I mean, it's really bad in the Wasteland, those Brotherhood guys don't even know what it's like, especially with the [censored] Enclave camps everywhere. Those Enclave are all over the place man, and they've got all these new weapons. Like, they got these weapons that shoot fire up to a quarter mile away, sometimes [censored] really dangerous stuff, man. I can't do this on my own. Break.

So I am going back there, see if anybody else wants to come along. I want to walk out of there with ... like, an army of people. And I'm going back for caps too,. I heard a rumor that somewhere in the Citadel there's this huge mountain of caps. Like, hundreds of thousands of caps. I mean, if I can figure out where this mountain of caps is I could steal it! Break.

But maybe I won't have to steal it. Maybe I could go back and just ... ask really nicely, you know? Because it's not cheap doing this on my own. I need men, and I need funding. And I'm getting both. Hold on.

unidentified sounds, Pipboy App cannot decipher ... 10 seconds ....

What is it, Gob?

unidentified ghoul voice: Oh man. I'm glad to see you. Moriarty's been especially nasty lately. And I need a friendly face.

Hey. You want to come along with me, Gob? Out here in the Wasteland? You want to be a soldier for the Brotherhood? Ha ha no I'm kidding. How about a drink?

*unidentified ghoul voice identified as "Gob": Anything for you, friend.

Hmm. That's all you have is Moonshine Vodka and Cooking Sherry? No beer?

Gob: Don't hit me!

You want to come with me to the Citadel, Gob? You know, just come along. You don't have to fight or anything. Just get me beers, okay? You can be my beer ghoul. Ha ha. Just kidding.

*click!*
